I own a liberty 25 gun safe, that is half full of guns and half full of things of importance to us. I did not purchase it to keep a burgler out. "If there is a will there is a way." If the brugler knows you have a safe they will bring tools to crack it. If they don't know you have one they wont worry about the safe. I bought the safe not to keeps the thieves out, but to keep my young children out, and to protect our valuables in case of a fire. If you have lots of documents, pictures, and other valuables a gun safe is a good deal. They have lots of room, decent fire rating, and are a good price. If you are trying to keep thieves away, safety deposit boxes are much more economical and offer much more protection.
